Type-Moon: Shinji Matou Also Wants to Be the Protagonist

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Shinji slapped Iskandar's thick fingers away, but his gaze fell on the magic spear that the craftsmen had gathered around to examine.

Shinji reluctantly looked away only when Iskandar's finger poked at him again.

"Tell me, what are you planning to do next?"

The strategy of a swift victory was proposed by Iskandar, and Shinji wanted to hear his opinion.

Upon hearing Shinji's question, Waver, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look over, his face full of astonishment.

It was as if it were saying, 'Why are you going along with his nonsense?'

I was just worried about the follow-up investigations by the Magic Association and the Holy Church.

Why are they suddenly adding fuel to the already chaotic situation? Shouldn't they be keeping a low profile now?

Can you refuse him?

Seeing Waver's surprise, Shinji shrugged, pointed at Iskandar, and asked Waver.

Weber turned to look at the tall and imposing Iskandar, who returned a grin.

Recalling everything that had happened, Weber made a desperate discovery.

In their team, Iskandar has always been the one making the decisions.

If he can't offer any constructive suggestions, he can forget about changing Iskandar's decision.

Seeing that Weber understood his meaning, Shinji turned his head and gestured for Iskandar to continue.

"Of course, we should concentrate our forces and eliminate one competitor first!"

Iskandar occupied the large sofa as if sitting on his own throne, and confidently said:

"Like that arrogant Gilgamesh."

As for why they attacked Gilgamesh first, there's no reason, they just didn't like him!

Shinji hesitated for a moment when he saw the spirited Iskandar.

But looking at the still-busy artisans, Shinji sighed, then exchanged a glance with Iskandar and said:

"Before you begin your grand strategy, I have a few words for you."

Upon hearing Shinji's words, Iskandar sat up straight, his expression turning serious, and asked:

"Oh, is that your little secret?"

"Yes!"

It's not surprising that Shinji could tell Iskandar was hiding something from him.

After all, it's clear from the fact that Shinji approached Iskandar seeking cooperation to kill Zouken Matou, and Iskandar's abilities were indeed a perfect match for him. Shinji's goal has always been very clear.

To achieve this, accurate intelligence support is essential.

Even Weber later figured this out, let alone Iskandar, who was an emperor.

The reason they don't speak out is partly because the promises made by Shinji are indeed achievable.

On the other hand, after spending time together, they felt that Shinji was trustworthy.

"Um, should I excuse myself for a moment?"

Seeing the serious expressions on Iskandar and Shinji's faces, Waver chuckled and stood up to leave.

The process by which the craftsmen disassembled the treasures must be very valuable to learn from.

"No need. You are also a party involved and have the right to know."

Shinji stopped him, and then he prepared to share some non-sensitive information.

Since we've already decided to tell everyone, we're not afraid of having even one more person know.

"You are no match for Gilgamesh!"

Shinji made a bombshell statement right from the start, which startled Webber who was standing next to him.

However, Iskandar, the person involved, was not annoyed by the denial; he simply frowned.

Since Shinji said that, he must have his reasons. Now we just need to see if this argument can convince him.

"why?"

"The compatibility is too bad; you are almost completely restrained."

Shinji was impressed by Iskandar's composure, but he still spoke frankly and continued:

"The Reality Marble is destroyed by Gilgamesh's Anti-Marble, which is a complete waste of mana."

The Divine Wheel of Power, but he has the Flying Boat Vimana, so there is no decisive difference in speed;

You possess personal martial prowess, yet you also have a divine quality within you.

The most famous aspect of Gilgamesh's legend is the Chains of Heaven, which are specifically designed to attack divinity.

Finally, there's magic. Even though you have a magic furnace to supply magic...

However, Gilgamesh's class is Archer, which gives him the ability to act independently.

Moreover, his treasury definitely contains magical artifacts that can solve his mana consumption problem.

Even without it, his Master is enough to sustain him through the exertion of a battle.

Although it raised a fatal question.

How to win?

Shinji listed Iskandar's abilities one by one, and then revealed information about Gilgamesh.

The one-to-one comparison made Webber, who was standing to the side, involuntarily think that he absolutely could not win.

That's really targeting me.

Neither of them doubted Shinji's intelligence, after all, Shinji had already demonstrated the reliability of his mysterious intelligence sources when he chose Iskandar.

Weber instinctively glanced at the Conqueror King beside him.

I want to know how he would react when faced with such a desperate situation.

But he didn't see the fear and despair he had imagined, nor did he feel discouraged at all.

Instead, a fierce fighting spirit burned in his tiger-like eyes.

"Kid, do you think I'm afraid?"

Iskandar slapped Webber on the back and said.

"Hahaha, so many comparisons tell me that it's absolutely impossible to win, but when I launched my expedition, no one said I would definitely succeed. To challenge the impossible and win, that's true conquest!"

"Even if I fail in the end, I will fail on the road to conquest, otherwise I will regret it later, hahaha."

Iskandar's voice echoed like thunder within the barrier, making Weber's eardrums buzz.

He opened his arms as if to embrace the whole world, and his bold posture made Shinji take notice.

"But even the direction you're heading is wrong."

Although Shinji admired Iskandar's magnanimity, he still had to continue to pour cold water on him.

"The Greater Grail in Fuyuki is broken, so your wish to be resurrected is probably impossible to fulfill."

Upon hearing this, Iskandar stopped laughing, and Webber was even more surprised.

Shinji's words almost negate the Holy Grail War itself.

After all, Servants respond to the summons by being attracted by the power of the Holy Grail wish-granting machine. Now Shinji is saying that this most basic condition does not exist. Doesn't this make the Holy Grail War a scam?

Chapter 68: Preparing Gifts

Shinji recounted in detail to Iskandar and Waver the brutal things the Einzbern family had done in the previous Holy Grail War.

And the story of Angolan Newman, the Evil of This World.

After hearing this little-known secret, the two fell silent.

The idea of ​​a cult-like Holy Grail that grants wishes in a twisted and evil way is truly terrifying.

If you accidentally make the wrong wish, the whole world could be destroyed.

Weber even considered giving up the Holy Grail War altogether.

But at that moment, Iskandar slapped his thigh and said decisively:

"Then we absolutely cannot let anyone else get the Holy Grail!"

"We are the only ones who know this secret among the participants in this Holy Grail War. If someone else obtains the Holy Grail and makes some bad wish, wouldn't this world be doomed!"

Iskandar's concerns were not unfounded; once the Holy Grail War ended, there would always be a victor.

What wishes others will make at that time is completely unpredictable, so this Holy Grail War must continue.

This time, it was to save the world, and he was worthy of his identity as the Heroic Spirit Iskandar.

"Can't we share the question of the Holy Grail with other people?"

Upon hearing Iskandar's impassioned words, Webber couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

But the excitement only lasted a moment before being forcibly cooled down by cruel reality—he had no power and could do nothing.

In the end, he still said something discouraging.

"Yes, but nobody believes it."

Shinji shrugged and replied.

Or perhaps it's a matter of not wanting to believe it; people are always more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes.

Besides, they are still enemies. Who would wholeheartedly believe the enemy's words?

Moreover, even if it is achieved in a twisted and evil way, the wish made in the end is indeed fulfilled, isn't it?

If a wish can indeed be fulfilled, there will always be people who want to try it.

Iskandar stroked his beard, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

He had to admit that Shinji was right.

Such a secret concerning the essence of the Holy Grail, if rashly proclaimed, would likely only be seen as a rumor intended to sow discord.

They might even be targeted by other Masters.

"So you mean we need to prevent others from obtaining the Holy Grail, but we also can't let them know the real reason?"

Weber frowned, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"This is like dancing in shackles."

"Saving the world, that's how it is."

Shinji shrugged, knowing he was powerless to do anything about it.

Weber's shoulders slumped, and he asked Shinji listlessly:

"You know the intelligence before we do, do you have any plans?"

"You overestimate me. I'm no savior. I can only take it one step at a time."

Shinji sighed. If there were a way, who would want to live on a volcano that could erupt at any moment?

The best way to resolve the crisis is to dismantle the Greater Grail; there's no other way!

Moreover, even if there were a way, Shinji wouldn't dare to try it casually.

This world has a world structure mechanism called quantum recording fixed-band.

Speaking of this, we need to mention the underlying structure of this world.

This world contains parallel worlds and countless world lines.

In theory, every change in this world could potentially lead to the creation of a parallel world.

In order to prevent the world lines from splitting infinitely and exhausting the universe's energy.

These worldlines need to be filtered, constrained, and eliminated.

The selection criteria are the winners who have the greatest diversity and sustainable development in the history of competition.
